Vehicle Transfers

[Mike K]

NX livery with no grey connexion bars. Might of had the small bars but again damn cars are an obstruction.

4359 has the small ones so might be?  :)

4359 is on the 24 today so still at BC

[B.C Driver]

I'm sorry I don't have any 'inside information', but I'm wandering what BC will loose when the 9 Enviros enter service.

I'm guessing it will be 9 Tridents to YW to release more Presidents.

Maybe ;

Will all BC's drivers need type training again on the new Enviros? Even though most have driven them before when the 4800-4829 were allocated there from new

The type training is usually just to the drivers on the routes the new buses will be going on and drivers on part time and spare lists. The majority of 900 and Cov Rd drivers would not have been type trained as the previous Enviros were just used on the Stourbridge rota.

In my opinion though, type training should be avalable to all drivers as vehicles often stray onto other routes and some drivers do overtime on other routes.

Possibly. But there will be more than 9 new Enviro400s in total entering service, so we will have to wait and see what other Transfers might happen

The cab layout would be different also, when Pensnett had the wright 1908 most drivers were typed but when they had their allocation all drivers were typed even the ones that were typed on the previous model which was identical apart from one switch, the same as the MVC 1908 you had to be typed even though it was the same dash as the wrights.

BC could do with off loading some of the 65 x Y-reg Tridents it has allocated to another garage

Do you know how many Enviros BC are having :)

I think someone estimated around 18

[B.C Driver]

Im not even sure myself, all I know is of the 9 so far. When the 900 last recieved new buses it had it had 8 branded (4425 - 32) but of course now it includes the 957 and you would expect a few to be unbranded too so Im guessing 9 wont be enough.

Other road drivers are getting type trained, just after the rota'd drivers and spares. I'm not on the 900 but I'm getting type trained. Just ask in Training; Paul or Paul will set you straight. Didn't you hear the radio call this morning?

586 is now at WN as we know but 687 clinging on in service on the 28 just

What routes do the B6LEs at Wolverhampton stick to. I know the 26/62, 27 and 28 but are there other routes?  :)

I think that's it really. I thought the 27 was strictly Mercs and the odd decker?

I think the 27/A has a mix of B6LE, O405Ns and the occasional double. Not been from Wolverhampton way, I stand to be corrected if wrong!!

I'm long overdue a trip back to Wolverhampton so I want to be able to see quite a few B6LEs when I finally make it, in amongst another trip to Coventry and Leicester in the next few weeks ;)

The 25 regually sees B6's as well and the 82 and 59 (Peak running Board) sometimes

Thanks Nathan   :D
